I saw Goonzquad had their carbon fiber wing delivered and installed.
For those guys we pulled one of our used personal wings that was on our car because of cosmetic defects from the factory. That one was from the batch that appears be prone to splitting down the leading edge.
The next batch just arrived and while the leading edge appears to be intact at first inspection, instead of laying up aluminum plates inside the wing for us to accurately drill and tap with the CNC mill, they drilled the carbon fiber themselves and installed rivnuts directly into the carbon. They also drilled the end caps this time and they weren't drilled as accurately as we would've done. The rivnuts have us concerned. There is a really good chance that we have a batch of wings that we can't send out.
We never pictured sourcing wings to be this big of an issue but here we are. We were trying to keep the wings affordable but it is looking more likely that the wing is going to have to be even more expensive to get a consistent product. I'm still reaching out to USA wing manufacturers but the prices for these wings are high considering the whole kit is only ~$10,000.
We've already pulled the wing option from the website (this was done at least two months ago). We were hoping this was a temporary change to the website and we'd get the wings figured out. At this point, we are fairly certain that we will never be able to offer a carbon fiber wing at the price we had online. It will more than likely be $1,000 for a carbon wing once we get a USA made wing lined up.
@BaltimoreHokie I'm refunding your wing purchase since even this most recent shipment looks like it won't be able to go out to you.
@IDRVSLO It looks like you were never invoiced for a wing so no refund is due as far as I can tell. Please keep us all updated on how your aluminum wing works out.
If anyone else is owed a wing and would like a refund, please shoot me an email or give us a call: 469-552-9366 or 214-334-0232
